the trick is to find the other angel measures in order to find yours. To start off i started with the triangle that had 2 angel measurements (the bottom right ). and since every triangles angel measurements add up to 180 degrees total i added the right angel ( 90 degrees) and the 20 degrees which gave me 110, i subtracted that from 180 (the total) and got 70. and the rule is, when an angel measurement has one the is unknown across from it, it is the same degree... now from there i added 70 and 25 and subtracted their sum by 180 which gave me 85 :)
